a pacific hysteria

With rising water levels; raping and pillaging of our forests by Malaysian logging companies; raping and pillaging of our mineral, oil and gold resources by massive American mining giants; civilunrest; racially polarised national elections; several pacific nations about to disappear with global warming; genocide of our neighbours ignored by the world ... and other various issues which might want to spark some sort of public debate if not outrage ... instead what we see is this-

vSamoa bans the code: Samoa has banned The Da Vinci Code after church leaders frowned on the film about a fictional Catholic conspiracy.

A Catholic organisation in neighbouring Fiji has called for a similar ban on The Da Vinci Code, which is screening at a cinema in the capital Suva.

"I question the wisdom in approving this movie, given the widespread criticisms it attracted worldwide," Catholic League For Religious and Civil Rights Movement spokesman Kelepi Lesi said.

"The movie undermines the very heart of the Christian belief and the Film Censor Board, in giving the green light for public screening, confirms it's insensitive to our culture," Lesi told the Fiji Sun.

vExcuse me - HOW??!!

But the ridiculousness does not stop there. 2 days ago the Head of HR at my firm sent the email below around. I won't comment - if you can't deduce the inane implications on your own, then I am at a loss of words.

The Da Vinci Code

The Da Vinci Code staring Tom Hanks, directed by Ron Howard will soon bereleased in the first part of this year (May 19). This movie will have thepotential to deceive billions of the worlds population. The story lineattacks the very heart of the Gospel and attempts to destroy the verynature and character of the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God. (Why dothe heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of theearth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against theLord, and against His anointed? Psalm 2:1, 2)

Satan knows his time is about up and now he will attempt to take one of hisbest shots by enlisting all of hell to belch out its worse deception inthat of stripping Jesus Christ of His Divine nature and turning him into amere man who secretly marries Mary Magdalene. To add insult to injury thestory depicts the idea that certain shadowy Christian groups for 2,000years have purposely and secretly hidden this so called fact behind thescenes and thus it is finally revealed in a coded message buried inLeonardo Da Vincis painting. Even the movie trailer for this story presentsit as the truth finally revealed about Jesus! (this is just what theIslamic Fascists need to give added credence to their bloody, destructivecampaign of global terror!)

It is time for Christians (the Body of Christ) everywhere to rise up andexpose this lie from the pit of hell that will be perpetuated on the wholeworld in just a couple of short months. This is no time to back down in theday of battle. It is a time to pray and fast like never before that Godwill raise up a standard against the enemy as he comes in like a flood.Satan always overplays his hand and once again he is about to overplay itbig time because as usual he overplays it right into Gods plan to presentthe truth to the whole world. And this Gospel of the kingdom shall bepreached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shallthe end come Matthew 24:14 Oswald Chambers states in his timeless writingMy Utmost For His Highest Our calling is not primarily to be holy men andwomen but to be proclaimers of the Gospel of God. The one all-importantthing is that the Gospel of God should be recognized as the abiding realityYet we have to ask ourselves today when this abiding reality comes underdirect attack who will defend it? The answer can only be that those of uswho have been transformed by its truth for eternity will and must defend ithere and now.

Pray that Christian lay people, prayer leaders, writers, pastors, and allthose in Christian media outlets will get the message out and expose thisdeception of hell and reveal the lie this movie will present before it everhits the theaters.

We can only say about Tom Hanks & Ron Howard Father forgive them for theyknow not what they do but to the enemy of the cross we can only declare tohim, go ahead take your best shot because your time is up and you will soonbe cast into the lake of fire."

E-mail this on to everyone you know (dont delete, give it feet) and letsexpose this lie for what it is because the hour is late and much later than we think.

I mean, I am telling you - people in PNG really BELIEVE THIS TOTAL BS!! I remember when 4 years ago there was a campagin in PN to ban Harry Potter books - although I have never read one (and really have no desire to), I defended the right of people to read WHATEVER they want to - whether or not there are supposed satanic messages encoded in the literature.

And the same goes for this film
